wildflower child: fair fun with my bro

went to the fair yesterday with my brother, craig. we decided to go on 2 rides: the zipper (my fav) and the swings ( a fair classic.) as we stood in line for the zipper we got a chance to watch the carnie guy clean out one of the cages after it had been barfed in.... for a moment i had second thoughts about going on the ride... not wanting to get barf chunks spewed on me... but i quickly changed my mind and decided that my all-time favorite fair ride was worth the risk...

the view from inside the cage of the zipper... i made sure we didn't ride in the "barf car"

i love all of the amateur artwork at the fair. i was really impressed by this drawing of the lovely drew barrymore.

my goal for next year: become one of these ladies... spinsters spinning at the fair

after waiting in line for WAY too long for a shaved ice, the damn thing broke down and i was distraught because i really had my heart set on some yummy snow covered in pina colada flavor. but then i ran into some really cool people...

they pointed me in the direction of lori's picture that was entered in the fair. i took a picture of it... partly because i'm so damn proud of my best friend and also because my mom looked everywhere for this picture and couldn't find it so i had to prove to her that it really does exist.
